Hurry up and shut up, Qing Mo went to ask someone to prepare a meal.Hong Yan sighed, and looked up to the sky with his hands behind his back, hoping that Shen Xie would be able to retreat completely.

It was getting dark, and Shen Xi was sorting out the ledger in the study while waiting for news.For three years, Qiao Ke's two elder brothers were left unattended in prison, and they suffered a lot.He only hopes that they are alive now, otherwise he will be farther away from the goal of making Qiao Ke happy.

As night fell, Mother Chen lit the candles, covered the lampshades and placed them on the desk.Shen Xie rubbed his neck and asked, "Has Liufeng returned yet?"

"Not yet." Mother Chen said with a respectful smile, "I have left some food for him in the kitchen. He can eat it as soon as he comes back."

Shen Xi raised his eyes and glanced at Chen's mother, reminding him that Liu Feng was hungry for work?You can't be too harsh on people, he can't be Zhou Papi.However, Shen Xi didn't say anything, and continued to write crookedly with a brush in the ledger that only he could understand.

There is no big problem with the front part of the ledger, and it is done very carefully, but it gets more and more outrageous as it goes to the back.Regarding the daily expenses, Shen Yu had to think about each one, and sometimes asked Chen's mother.This way of checking the accounts does not say whether it can be checked clearly, anyway, Shen Xi has one head and two big ones.

Copying a new account book, Shen Xi became more and more angry: "It's a waste of my pen and ink! This account has to be settled on his head."

Be stingy, Shen Xi is really stingy.Now even if Feng Ze drinks an extra sip of water, he will clearly count it as money.

Chen's mother stood aside, amused and frightened, amused by Shen's childish behavior, frightened and ruthless.

A person like Shen Hao seems to be a temperless person when it's not his fault, and he can get along peacefully with anyone.But once he is angered, this matter can be remembered for a lifetime, maybe when he is in a bad mood, he will come to make trouble.Don't expect things to go away.

The two waited for a short time when Liufeng came back.Shen Xi asked Liufeng to eat first, and then talk back after eating.

After saluting, Mother Chen led Liu Feng to the kitchen for dinner.After a hasty meal, Liufeng came to the study to report the news he had inquired: "It is said that Qiao Ke's two elder brothers offended Wu Xi, the son of Master Wu. Master Wu only has this son, which hurts like an eyeball. Since the county Grandpa took his sister as his concubine, so it can be said that Wu Xi can walk sideways in Sihai County, and there are many people who cling to and flatter him."

This is the so-called ground snake.Shen Hao rubbed the corners of his eyes and said, "Continue. Why did they offend Wu Xi?"

"Three years ago, Wu Xi decided to renovate my sister's yard," Liu Feng looked up at Shen Yu, "Many men who wanted to make money went there. But after the yard was built, the wages were deducted. The workers were angry and called Go to Wu Xi for an explanation. The two sides didn’t reach an agreement, and there was a dispute. I heard that Qiao Ke’s second brother beat Wu Xi. In a fit of anger, Wu Xi sent them to jail.”

What a mess, he was imprisoned for three years for a few wages.Shen Hao didn't know what to scold the two elder brothers. Couldn't there be a gentler way to ask for wages?He had to put himself in the prison, which caused Qiao Ke to live so hard for the past three years.

"Also," Liu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "At that time, Wu Xi injured his leg, so he ordered someone to beat Brother Qiao Ke's leg as well."

Shen Xi remembered that Qiao Ke said that the second brother was very active.When he was knocked on his leg, he didn't expect it to be a light knock.The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, Shen Xi waved his hand to make Liu Feng retreat.Liu Feng opened his mouth to stop, but finally said: "Master, it's better not to fight against Wu Xi."

"I have my own measure." Shen Yu frowned and said, "You are also tired today, go down and rest. I will call you if something happens."

Liufeng responded and went down to rest.Shen Xi rested his chin on his hands and stared at one place in a daze, no, he had to find a way to go to the prison to see the two brothers, what if they were killed.What's more, most of the invitations were sent by Wu Xi, who wanted to get his money.

Since the other party wanted to catch him so much, Shen Hao didn't mind letting Wu Xi know that he had something to ask for.Who wouldn't throw stones to ask directions.

Wu Xi personally let the people into the prison, and the general government officials would not dare to bring Shen Xi in to see the people.Shen Xi was worried, whose position was just right?With the ability to take him to prison, but not afraid of Wu Xi's revenge?He was so worried that he sighed while writing the next day.

At Dr. Qiao's house, my aunt put a desk in Shen's room.When she came in the morning, she bought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Hongyan taught Shen and Qiao Ke how to write.Holding the pen tightly in his hand, Qiao Ke wrote very seriously.Seeing that Qiao Ke's posture of holding the pen was wrong, Hongyan taught him the correct posture.

Looking back, Hong Yan saw Shen Xie sighing and drawing ghosts on the paper.He knocked on Shen Yu's head angrily: "What are you sighing for? This is what you wrote? Look at what you wrote yourself. Qiao Ke wrote it well for the first time. Are you ashamed?"

"Ashamed." Shen Xi humbly accepted the teaching, looked at Qiao Ke and asked in a low voice, "I'm worried. I want to go to the prison, but I can't get in."

"You didn't say it earlier." Hong Yan snorted, "I have some friendship with Liang Butou. I will ask him to help later."

Where did this little angel come from!Shen Xi smiled brightly: "I know you have a way. I will rewrite the words, and I must write them well."

Hong Yan gave Shen Xi a knowing look.He didn't want the students he taught to write like dogs.

"Liang?" After realizing it, Shen Xi asked while writing seriously, "Could it have something to do with your classmates?"

"It's his elder brother." Hong Yan saw that Shen Xi's handwriting had improved a bit, and nodded, "Don't worry, he's not afraid of trouble."

Shen Xi really wanted to applaud Hong Yan, what he was looking for was someone who was not afraid of getting into trouble.Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at Qiao Ke who was serious about writing, and he could not proceed to the next step until he went to see the two brothers in prison.At that time, I will give my savior, the future accountant a surprise.

Qiao Ke and Shen Hao were practicing calligraphy in the house, and Hong Yan went to the school to check the progress.After dinner, the two returned to the county seat in a carriage.

Since taking Hongyan's carriage, Shen Hao no longer bothers to ride a donkey. Why not take a free carriage?The carriage sent Shen Xi first, and then returned to the red house.Shen Xi went home to practice calligraphy for a while, wrote and wrote the account book, and then lay on the bed and read the story book.When sleepiness comes, go to sleep.

The next day, Hongyan took Shen Xi to find Liang Butou as agreed.After Liang Butou learned about the matter, he agreed and was willing to help.

After handing over the person to Liang Tutou, Hongyan set off to Wuhu Village to teach Qiao Ke how to write, mainly learning numbers.Since Qiao Ke will be Shen Xi's accountant in the future, it is necessary to settle accounts.Hong Yan intimately taught Qiao Ke arithmetic, as long as he can spend money and do simple one plus one, he can still do it.

A few or dozens of Qiao Ke can still handle it. He counted slowly with his fingers, and he was confused when he reached the hundreds and thousands.Not to mention counting, he had never seen so much money in his life.Hong Yan was very patient, counting the numbers one by one, breaking them into pieces and telling Qiao Ke.

Qiao Ke is not stupid, and he is serious about his studies, and he has gradually learned some tricks.Hong Yan was very pleased, it was much better than teaching that kid Shen Yu.

In the yard, my uncle was drying medicinal herbs, and saw Zhao Li walking around outside, stretching his neck to look in.The uncle walked to the door and smiled and asked, "Sister Li, what are you doing standing outside? Come in and sit down. Do you have anything to do? Just tell uncle."

Zhao Li opened his mouth to speak, blushed, turned and left.Uncle watched Zhao Li walk away with a puzzled expression, what's the matter?

county seat.Liang Tutou took Shen Xi to the prison, said a few words to the prison chief and went straight in.Liang Butou is quite prestigious in the county, and his younger brother is a scholar, so he doesn't want to offend him if he can make a good relationship with the prison boss.The jailer led the two to a cell not far away: "The one in front."

Catcher Liang patted the jailer on the shoulder: "Talk slowly, I'll go have a drink with some brothers. Don't worry, come out after chatting."

After finishing speaking, Liang Butou put his arms around the jailer's shoulders and walked away together.On both sides of the passage are cells, and the people inside are unkempt, completely hopeless in their eyes, and they sit in a daze waiting for the time to pass.Shen Xi lowered his eyes, raised his feet and walked forward, getting more nervous as he got closer.

In the cell, the two brothers lay motionless on the dirty floor.There were no beds in the cells, so they had to sleep on the floor.

Shen Hao stood in front of the cell and looked at the two brothers, and saw that one of them had abnormally bent feet, and knew that this person was Qiao Ke's second brother.Then the other person is Qiao Ke's eldest brother, Shen Yu knocked on the railing of the cell: "Two brothers from the Qiao family, are you all right?"

Qiao Bin, the eldest brother of the Qiao family, opened his eyes and sat up, seeing a stranger standing outside.Qiao Jin, the second brother of the Qiao family, yawned, stretched and sat up.Qiao Jin looked at Shen Yu and snorted coldly: "What play is this singing again? Isn't he satisfied with breaking my leg?"

This second brother is indeed a thorn.Shen Wei frowned slightly: "I'm not Wu Xi's person. Qiao Ke has been kind to me, so I came to see you. I thought you guys had a bad time in prison, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong. You can eat and drink You live on land, you don’t have to work, and you haven’t been beaten. Your life is much better than Qiao Ke’s, thanks to your being so arrogant.”

"Qiao Ke..." Qiao Jin clenched his hands into fists and said in pain, "Is he okay? Tell him, don't keep sending things in. How much silver can he earn as a brother, he can't afford to send things every time? We Very good, as you said, with food, drink and land to live in."

Qiao Bin patted Qiao Jin on the back to comfort him: "Master, please tell Qiao Ke that you don't have to worry about us."

Sure enough, people who have read the book are more polite.Shen Xie sighed with his hands on his hips: "Seeing that you are still alive and kicking, I have a solid idea. I probably know why you came in. It has been so long, don't worry about who was right and who was wrong at that time, solving the problem is the key. I I will find a way to get you out, but the ugly words are up front, so don't cause trouble in the future."

"Can you get us out?" Qiao Jin couldn't believe it. He thought they would be locked up in prison until they died.

"I'll try my best." Shen Yu scratched his head speechlessly, why did he feel that he likes to find trouble, "stay well. You will be able to come out in a few days at the earliest, or a month at the latest. By then, the rice will be harvested, right? Hmm ...the time is okay."

Qiao Bin stood up and clasped his fists at Shen Yu: "Dare to ask your son Gao's name. We will repay this kindness in the future."

Standing up with his hands on the ground, Qiao Jin imitated Qiao Bin and saluted: "I, Qiao Jin, am not a person who discriminates between right and wrong. I will remember your kindness."

"I saved you to repay Qiao Ke's kindness, and I don't need anything in return." Shen Xi began to think in his heart, "I will take care of the jailer and treat you better. Take care of yourself a little these days, and you don't want to be caught by Qiao Ke after you go out." Ko see this look?"

Speechless, Qiao Bin bowed solemnly, followed by Qiao Jin.Shen Xi nodded, fortunately, he has a sensible elder brother.

When the conversation was almost over, Shen Xi walked away.Before leaving, he gave the jailers money to help take care of the two brothers.

The jailer weighed the money and agreed readily.After walking out of the prison, Shen Xi asked Liang Tutou to go to the restaurant for dinner, and inquired about Wu Xi by the way.Liang Butou is a member of the yamen, and he knows much more than other people.Shen Xi heard a lot of interesting things.
